The Cy-Fair campus of Lone Star College opened as scheduled Thursday morning after police deemed the school safe following the discovery of threatening notes in two buildings Wednesday.

Officers and K-9 unit with the Harris County Sheriff's Office as well as the Houston and Metro police departments searched the campus at 9191 Barker Cypress and found no danger to students, faculty or staff, according to the college's website.

One of the threatening notes was found in the conference center while the other was spotted in the library. Details about the threats were not released.

College officials could not be reached for comment.

In April, a 20-year-old student went on a stabbing spree on the campus, leaving 14 people injured. Dylan Andrew Quick allegedly stabbed his victims with an X-Acto knife and a scalpel.

Officials said Quick told investigators he had been fantasizing about stabbing people since he was 8 years old and that he had been planning the attack for awhile.
